Outlaw King (dir. David Mackenzie) - Blu-ray Forum

There will be a Hell or High Water reunion thanks to Netflix.

David Mackenzie is in final talks with the streamer to direct Outlaw King, a period epic that will tell the story of Robert The Bruce (or Robert I), the King of Scots that led his country to freedom from England in the early 14th century.

Chris Pine and Ben Foster, who starred as brothers in Mackenzie's sleeper awards contender, are both in talks for the feature. Pine would play the Scottish king while Foster is in talks to play knight James Douglas, the king's loyal aide.

Mackenzie wrote the screenplay for the film, which is set to shoot on location in Scotland in August.

Gillian Berrie is producing with Anonymous Content’s Richard Brown and Steve Golin.

This project marks the first major production deal for the streamer since Scott Stuber joined the company to head its film initiative.

Would watch this!

Well, that's quite a departure from HoHW. Interesting.

imsounoriginal · 04-24-2017, 08:42 PM

I like Chris Pine but the thought of him playing a Scottish king just doesn't gel.

Loved HoHW, so I'll still look forward to this.

I agree. I think they should just get Angus Macfadyen back but maybe he's a bit too old for the part now.

Groot · 04-25-2017, 02:13 AM

If he plays him during his early years as king Chris should be alright.

Only thing I'd be worried about is the accents.

Quote:

“I am also delighted that Chris Pine, with whom I had a great time on our last film, has joined our Scottish and international cast and crew including the excellent Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the exciting emerging talent of Florence Pugh and Billy Howle. I know Chris will bring intensity and flair to Robert the Bruce and his struggle to take back his country, being crowned King of Scots, then suffering a disastrous defeat and left on the run with just a handful of supporters only to claw his way, with bravery and cunning, back to victory. This was an early form of guerilla warfare against the might of a vastly bigger better resourced enemy and is one of the great comeback stories of history.”

Hoke Moseley · 09-08-2017, 05:02 PM

Aw man, Ben Foster isn't in this anymore? Will have to get the thread title updated.

Got a feeling this might end up being a bit of a misfire, but I hope it's good, it would be ace to have a new great Medieval Epic.

Eh, Mackenzie is a pretty great director. I trust him to pull it off.

imsounoriginal · 08-14-2018, 05:41 PM

If Pine can pull off the accent this should be fine.

Shingster · 08-14-2018, 05:51 PM

He has about a 0.00000000000000001% chance of pulling off the accent. The question will be how bad it will be, not if it will be bad! I like Chris Pine but he's a stereotypical film star not a character actor, not seen much "vocal" flexibitility in any of his performances.

Oh I didn't realize this is a Netflix movie (even though it's right there in the OP lol).

Skipping the trailer, will just watch the movie.

MattJ1991 · 08-20-2018, 04:21 PM

It looks good visually but I can’t see Pine pulling this off. I’ll watch it regardless though since I’m a Netflix subscriber.

BraveHeart Part 2.

I'm down. Trailer looked solid.

Creed · 08-20-2018, 04:55 PM

I'm in.

Foggy · 08-20-2018, 05:02 PM

Looks like something Ridley Scott could doze through.

Good thing is my Dad might like it though, might be able to get him to the modern age and use my Netflix account.
